"What does it look like?" Teal'c answered calmly. Jack…for it was Jack standing in the doorway..puzzled a second, than tried to peek at the video screen. Janet had stood in front of it, smiling innocently, but he could swear that for the moment, there was someone familiar on screen. Daniel was trying desperately to take the tape out of the machine, and finally succeeded.

"Whatcha' got there?" Jack asked.

"What? Where?" Daniel asked, trying to look as innocent as Janet and failing miserably. He hid his face behind his coffee cup instead.

"There, on the tape."

"Oh..the tape…" Daniel mused, then lied. "It's some of my tapes of various missions. I offered it to Brigman, and he said it was boring. I was just showing some to Janet and Teal'c and Siler, see what they thought."

The other three gazed at Daniel for a second. That had been a good lie. And he'd told it well. Daniel, it appeared had come back from the dead just a little bit more sneaky than when he had gone.

"And?" Jack asked suspiciously. Lately, he seen Daniel and Janet and Teal'c huddled together several times, discussing something intently, and going quiet every time they saw him. He'd asked Daniel about it, but he'd find something very important he had to do right then, Teal'c would just deny all knowledge of everything, and Janet..well, he was just too scared of Janet to ask her anything. But now he'd actually caught them.

"And?" Janet asked,

.

"The tapes..were they boring?"

"Very." Janet said, ignoring Daniel's outraged 'hey!'

"Unbelievably tedious." Siler chimed in.

"As incredibly dull as Pete's the oddly-eyebrowed policeman's jokes." Teal'c said, quite forcefully. Jack frowned at him a moment, then decided some discussions were best left undiscussed.

"OOkay." Jack said. "Siler, Carter's looking for you, and Teal'c. I think she wants to shoot you again."

"Great! Can't wait!" Siler said, grinning wildly as he left, followed by Teal'c.

"You should cut down on his medication." Jack said to Janet.

"All he's on is burn cream." Janet said. "Of course, he insists it's rubbed on by two female nurses"

"Sounds fair." Jack said. "And you two….?"

"Are in my office, having a private discussion." Janet said firmly. Daniel took a sip of coffee to keep himself from laughing at Jack's chastised little boy look.

"Ok, but Brigman's looking for you." He told Janet. "And I'm going to tell him where you are so he can stop getting shots of my ass."

"Now there's an interview I'd like to see." Janet muttered. Jack debated with himself whether to take that subject further, and decided, wisely to just leave.

"How are we going to get the tape back to Brigman?" Daniel asked.

"Oh, I'll do an interview, flirt with him a little, distract him, slip it back in the bag somehow."

"Really?" Daniel asked dubiously.

"What, you don't think I can make him…. libidinous?" Janet asked wickedly, looking up at Daniel. "I've done it before."

Daniel took a huge gulp of coffee to cover up his embarrassment. Jack wasn't the only one who never wanted the Hathor incident never mentioned again. He glanced down at Janet as she took the tape off him and slipped it into the pocket of her medical coat.

"Janet." He suddenly said. "Do you really think it's worth it?"

"I'm just doing a little flirting, I'm not planning to sleep with him!" Janet protested.

"No..no,I meant, this whole CGSJFFL thing. I mean…"

"You mean there's more important things in the universe than whether Sam and Jack get together."

"Yeah, I guess that's what I'm trying to say." Daniel said moodily.

"Ok, there are. But there's not a lot I can do about that. I can't fix the Jaffa and Tokra alliance. I can't defeat Anubis's super-soldiers. But I do what I can. I save lives, and I fix up the injured soldiers that come in here, and I try to make people happy. And if I think that I can make my best friend and my commanding officer happy by helping them realise that they're in love, I can do that too. Real love doesn't happen very often, and sometimes it needs help, and that's my job and usually all I can do, to help."

Daniel looked down at Janet's glowing face, and she smiled up at him, sure he understood.

"You do help. More than you know." He said. For a moment she thought he might say something else, but then Brigman knocked on the door.

"I'd like to interview you now, Dr. Frasier." He said.

"Ok, Mr Brigman, I'm ready for my close-up." She said. "See you later." She said to Daniel as she left. "At the next CGSJFFL meeting, if you think it's worth it." She smiled to take the sting out of it.

"Oh, it's worth it." Daniel said, watching her sit down for her interview.
